The Potty Is Under Control

Pookie’s potty training is going remarkably well. Yesterday he came up to me asking for M&Ms. I checked the toilets and couldn’t figure out why so I told him that he needed to go first. Later that night, I found a toilet that I had forgotten to check that had a poop in it. I owe you two M&Ms, Pookie. When you read this, come let me know and I will give them to you.

He is virtually 100% successful when he is not wearing a pull-up and pants. So, we have moved on to trying pants and no underwear. It took a few days, but he really has gotten the hang of this new stage now, too.

It is really funny to watch the routine, though. When he was naked from the waist down, he would stand up and sprint to the toilet when he had to go. Now that he has to deal with pulling his pants down the routine is a little different and the sprinting has pretty much stopped.

I figured it would be easier to show then tell so here is the order the potty routine goes in now. Don’t make fun of the half arms in a couple frames. His arm is supposed to be bent. I can’t draw. So instead he ends up with funny looking arms.
